Probably not if you are using an analogue FXO connection to the exchange; 
because there is no standardised way of communicating supervisory information 
over such a link.

In any case, changing the caller identity information is a telco-dependent 
feature.  Not all telephone companies support changing it; and even the ones 
that do, may well restrict you to using only numbers that belong to you.


Of course, if you have an analogue telephone plugged into your Asterisk 
machine with an FXS adaptor, then *you* are the telco -- and can send whatever 
ident you like to phones thus connected.
